Introduction: What is The Sisterhood About?

As a woman who suffers from depression and anxiety I've experienced highs and lows during the past year. I'd been racking my brain trying to find out how I could help the next woman. My solution was The Sisterhood. The Sisterhood is a nonprofit organization in Dallas, dedicated to helping women with mental illnesses cope, heal, and recover through the arts. May is mental health awareness month and I've been doing my part to get the word out. I've worn green every Friday, since green is the color for mental health awareness, and others have joined me. 

I supported anti suicide day which was May 13th 

as well as the I'm still here project, on May 20th, which asked people who had been bullied, suffered from depression, cutting, anxiety, etc to write I'm still here on their wrist. 

These are all nonverbal ways to show support and raise awareness. Please show your support by wearing green on Friday and tagging @thesisterhood2013 on Instagram. Through this blog I will keep you all posted on what activities the organization will be doing as well as posting motivational pictures, artwork and sharing my poetry.
